is always telling us: if you really want to lose the weight, if you’ve really had enough, you’ll make up
your mind and you’ll do it.
But what if your weight problem stems from addiction? Is sheer will power enough to stop it? It took
me more than a decade to learn no, diet and exercise isn’t enough to stop addiction. And food
addiction is every bit as real as the experience of alcoholics or drug addicts.

achieve success. I did ultimately overcome the problem, and my book details that inspiring journey.
Designated Fat Girl is being published by Globe Pequot Press. Look for it in stores in September
